In this country, 50% of women and 25% of men will experience at least one osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture in their lifetime. Crestal compression fractures are the most common occurrence of fractures. It has been reported that only 21% of patients with vertebral compression fractures worldwide receive proper treatment, which includes minimally invasive vertebral body cementation and vertebral balloon kyphoplasty, and patients live an average of 2.2 to 7.2 years longer after minimally invasive surgery. I. Osteoporosis, humpback, tumors: common causes Weakened bone strength due to osteoporosis or multiple myeloma, and metastatic tumors of the vertebral body can lead to collapse of the vertebral body with mild trauma and is known as a vertebral compression fracture (VCF). Vertebral compression fractures are the most common fracture in patients with low bone mass or osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, which means “porous bones,” is a progressive disease in which bones slowly lose minerals such as calcium and become weak and brittle. Osteoporotic fractures also occur with very minor movements, such as opening a window, and in advanced stages of the disease even sneezing or coughing can cause a fracture of the crestal vertebrae. Crural kyphosis (commonly known as hunchback) can also lead to vertebral compression fractures. The thoracic spine in patients with kyphosis is usually curved forward and is considered abnormal or kyphotic if the curve exceeds 50 degrees. Because the physiological curvature of the thoracic spine is curved forward, the diseased thoracic spine is most susceptible to compression fractures, which increase the curve of the kyphosis and cause spiral fractures due to compression of adjacent crestal vertebrae; therefore, adults with kyphosis deformity usually have multiple vertebral fractures caused by osteoporosis. Vertebral hemangiomas are benign hemangiomas surrounding one or two vertebral bodies, usually in the lower thoracic segment and upper lumbar region, and most are discovered accidentally on MRI. These hemangiomas can also lead to vertebral compression fractures or collapse of the vertebral body. Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that produces an excess of plasma cells in the bone marrow. These cells invade the bone in the marrow and then spread throughout the skeleton, leaving the bone fragile and prone to fracture. Crestal fractures are present in 55% to 70% of patients with multiple myeloma. In addition, many malignant cells tend to metastasize to the bone, often causing vertebral compression fractures. Second, low back pain, people become shorter: onset signal After a crestal compression fracture, compression of one vertebral body can easily lead to another vertebral body more prone to fracture, and patients often show chronic low back pain, crestal kyphosis, short height and crestal curvature, thus causing pressure on internal organs such as heart, lungs and stomach, further affecting cardiopulmonary function and digestive function and causing a spiral decline in health status. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely and effective treatment of vertebral compression fractures are quite important. In case of sudden and severe back pain, limited ability to move the back, or shortening of height and deformity of the back, the patient should be seen promptly and the presence of vertebral compression fracture can be detected by X-ray so that effective methods of treatment, such as vertebral body augmentation (also known as vertebral balloon kyphoplasty), can be used quickly to help repair crestal fractures, reduce pain and improve the patient’s quality of life. In the past, treatment of vertebral compression fractures was only possible through the application of pain medications, bed rest, and wearing a rigid lumbar back immobilization brace. Clinical studies have confirmed that traditional drugs and bed rest tend to cause cardiopulmonary compression and indigestion, which in turn increases the mortality rate by 23%. Two-step repair: safe and effective If minimally invasive vertebral compression repair is used as the primary treatment, it is not only safe and effective, but also avoids the risk of crestal spine surgery. This type of minimally invasive treatment usually does not require hospitalization and takes only about an hour to treat. The fractured vertebra is rapidly fixed and the patient experiences immediate pain relief. Clinical studies have shown that this treatment has a high success rate and a high complication rate. Minimally invasive vertebral compression repair includes vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. Both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty require the injection of medical bone cement into the fractured vertebra. During vertebroplasty, a special fine needle is inserted into the fractured vertebral area under X-ray positioning and a special type of cement is injected to rapidly fix the fracture for pain relief, but it does not restore any of the compressed vertebral height. Vertebroplasty is a newer form of vertebroplasty in which a high-pressure balloon is attached to the front of a special needle and a balloon is inserted into the vertebral body and inflated by pressure to restore the original height of the collapsed vertebral body, followed by injection of bone cement. Vertebroplasty effectively relieves the patient of pain and significantly improves low back mobility; on the other hand, balloon kyphoplasty restores the height of the collapsed vertebral body and reduces deformity. Balloon kyphoplasty also helps to reduce complications.
